The transition to a low
carbon economy will require a complete transformation of energy companies’
business models. In this workshop, investors will learn about the key
climate-related risks in the energy sector, as well as strategies and
initiatives for de-risking their portfolios.

Join the following expert speakers as they discuss how companies and investors
approach the issues faced with regards to Climate and Energy:

Singapore
is establishing itself to be a global financial centre with a strong
sustainability focus, with initiatives launched across our asset management,
banking, capital markets and insurance. Last year, the Investment
Management Association of Singapore (IMAS) issued a public statement endorsing
its commitment to sustainability considerations, and expressing support for
global and local standards such as the United Nations Principles for
Responsible Investment (PRI), and the Singapore Stewardship Principles for
Responsible Investors (SSP) in April 2017. Key Singapore asset owners
such as MAS, GIC and Temasek also integrate sustainability considerations into
their investment processes, which aim to deliver good long-term returns.
In banking, the Association of Banks in Singapore has launched industry
guidelines on responsible financing in 2015; and implemented a haze diagnostic
toolkit in 2017 to factor in haze related risks (e.g. such as no open burning
on plantations, and build capacity on fire prevention with local communities)
as part of loan underwriting decisions. In the capital markets, the
Singapore Exchange (SGX) introduced a new “comply or explain” sustainability
reporting requirement and signed up on Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative
(SSE) as a partner exchange in 2016.

In collaboration with WWF, IMAS is organising a series of workshops which will
see international investors and sustainability experts discuss the business
case for ESG integration and how it can boost the Singapore fund management
industry. These workshops are supported by the Monetary Authority of
Singapore (MAS), as part of broader capacity building efforts to understand and
implement relevant ESG systems, processes and standards in the financial
sector.
